Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
Offered on-line in 2010
Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERPs) are responsible for recording all business transactions within large companies. Professionals with the appropriate skill set are used to implement and maintain these types of systems. SAP, the market leader in ERP systems, formed a strategic partnership with Victoria University in 1998. This has enabled the University to incorporate SAP R/3 into its curriculum.
Seven units from the Master of Business in ERP Systems will be offered online in 2010. Students who successfully complete any four units will be eligible to exit with a Graduate Certificate in ERP Systems.
